Description:

Tether line indicator is the first component of TFS trading strategy. It was named this way because stock prices have a tendency to cluster around it. It means that stock prices tend to move away from the midpoint between their 50-day highs and lows, then return to that midpoint at some time in the future. On a chart, it appears as though the stock price is tethered to this line, and hence the name.

Usage:

The indicator is used to trigger a buy opportunity and trailing stop. When the close crosses above the tether line, a buy signal is triggered. When the close crosses below the tether line, trader should exit the position.
